But that the slaughter of the Federals still con• tinues to be so very frightful out in that deplorable American seat of war, it would be almcst laughable reading, as we do, among these last intimations re ceived from New York, under date June 23, " STAN. TON announces that important movements are in pro gress"—together with the usual added hocus-pocus —" which cannot yet be made public." That kind of official intimation, just as the mail is leaving for Europe, has been made so often —and hithereo has invariably ended so disas trously . They are always making " important movements"—the phrase used to be (until they were laughed out of it) "strategic movements" — those unfortunate Federals. And, besides that, there has always been some untoward impediment, somehow or another, in the way of the progress of those same movements being made public. Whenever by the mail ensuing, the result has come to be made public—it has always, we repeat, proved in its cha raster to have been disastrous instead of advantageous to the cause of the Federal Government. Opposed to the Confederate Array, the Army of the Federate has hitherto proved to be little better then what LEIGH HUNT once comically likened a feather bed to, namely, a Great Lubberly Giant. And the Great Lubberly Giant over in America somehow newer contrives to tumble on a feather bed. He is always receiving punishment, and punishment of the most frightful character. According to these last accounts, per the China, the Federal 1°44 has a ga in been something frightful. Eight thousand men in two days (the 17 th and 18 th) are acknowledged by the Federals themselves to have been put hors d e combat —but the telegram adds the number is believed to be still greater I In fact, a single corps alone (BANCOCK'S) is known to have suffered losses to th e exte nt of four thousand two hundred men. Th an ks to our wonderful new-fangled principle of Non-intervention —so rigidly applied in regard to formidable struggles like those now raging in the North of Etrope between Denmark and Germany, and in N ort h A mer i c a be tween the Federals and the Confederates, but Eo in differently applied in instances like that wret Abed contest in China between the Taepings and the Imperialists—thanks to this delightfully ',t est i, , and elasticprinciple of non- intervention the horrors t wat are in a fair way of being stili indefinitely conti need in both hemispheres. Diplomatic interference el en, is shrunk from, as between the rival Pow era at Richmond and at Washington. And so witl a war expenditure of cur own for many years p tat hero at home—for what good end GOD knows!. we are permitted to enjoy, at a safe distance, tl le luxury of beholding a four years' struggle of ti .e most sanguinary end revolting kind going on maim - terzuptedly among our own kith and kindrt:d among a race who arc of the number of car descendants.

GLLisilE, NEWS AGENT, No. 4, Connaught-terrace, llydc-park. Tiit, CrSN, LON k;o_,, VRIDA r 71 v a Art ,0-1 V kinLY 1 IV latervenliao—we may now rejoice to our very hearts' content, over the mingled shame and igno miny secured to us by our left-handed adoption of a 'kind of blustering yet craven travestee of the Peace-at-any-Price policy. The administration of relief to the destitute has always been one of the most serious perplexities which lie in the path of the legislator. To steer between the two dangers of encouraging idleness and improvidence and of neglecting the really needy is a problem which has at all times been most difficult to solve, and which, in spite of all our efforts and experiments, cannot yet be said to be satisfactorily settled. Even in our own metropolis we have frequent reason for doubting now far our elaborate poor-law system fulfils its task; and the evils of the cad plan, which fell into the opposite error from that now common, are still fresh in the memory. The condition of the poorer classes in the sister country is not such as to ireauce us to suppose that the present arrange ments are perfect, and therefore Mr. HENNESSY deserved better success in endeavouring to excite some interest in the discussion of the Irish Poor Law. The hon, member, in moving the second reading of the Poor Law (Ireland) Acts Amend ment Bill, explained that its object was to em power the Poor Law Commissioners of Ireland to allow out-door relief to be given to such classes of the able-bodied poor to such extent and in such manner as they may think fit. This permission does not seem at first sight to contain any objec tionable feature, being, in fact, copied from a similar clause in the English law ; but the prin ciple of out-door relief as applicable to Ireland is strongly objected to by a large number of persons. The principle is, as we know, readily recognised in this country, and complaints are often made that the line is often drawn too tight, and that, in their desire to avoid the old mistake of encouraging vagrancy and rewarding thriftlessness, guardians and relieving officers often inflict unnecessary hard ships on the poor. It is quite evident that it is cheaper to give a little out-door relief than to take a whole family into the workhouse ; and at first sight it may therefore seem strange that the con dition of entering the House is generally in sisted on ; but the workhouse authorities know better, and are fully aware that the dislike to surrendering independence, to break ing up a home, and the consequent dis ruption of family ties, is sufficiently strong to keep a good many half starved persons from apply icg to the parish. But the question remains whether these are not the very persons whom we should most wish to help ? It is the better class of the struggling poor who shrink from the " house" and its restraints; those who have some self-respect left, and who take a pride in their little belongings, and have a care for their families, and it is these wno in times of sickness or distress have to bear sore straits to avoid the object of their dread. This argument may well be brought forward on le:halt of the poor of Ireland, and Mr. HENNESSY, in ad vocating the change he proposed, especially dwelt upon the debasement which the Irish poor felt when they entered the Union. He was convinced, he said, that the law now in operation in Ireland for the so-called relief of the poor tended very much to p►omote that excessive emigration which is so much regretted, for the labouring man who had been forced to become an inmate of the workhouse was eager to leave the country: The social and moral interests of the poor should, as Mr. HEN NESSY very justly observed, be consulted in this matter of public relief, and certainly these arc not adequately considered when the only resource from starvation is a " workhouse, where they receive wurso than prison diet." There is no reason why harder measure should be dealt to the Irish than to the English poor; but the plea against any altera tion of the law is that it would tend to raise the rates—a result much to be deprecated in so poor a country. But ii it is really the object to keep the rates low, a very considerable saving might be made by paying a little attention to the manner in which the money now raised in poor rates is laid out since. On Mr. HENNESSVS showing, it appears that a very great amount of relief might be given with trifling expense, and in fact one of the prin cipal arguments which the hon. and learned gen• tleman adduced in favour of his measure was its economy. He anticipated that it would produce an actual reduction in the rates by assimilating the Irish poor law to the English system, since the cost of the maintenance and clothing per head is in England and Scotland about ls. 6d. per week, white in Ireland it is 2s. 3d., and, with other charges, amounts altogether to 33. 10d., so that more than twice the number might be re lieved on the English system. The increased cost is not occasioned by a different or more luxurious manner of treating the paupers—the secret lies in the official expenses. According to Mr. HEN. NESSY'S statistics, in one of the unions in Donegal £333 was expended in the relief of the poor, £209 in the salaries and rations of the officers, and £123 tor other expenses, so that for every eightpence expended on the poor sixpence wee laid out on the officials. In another union the establishment charges were £OO, while the amount spent on the poor was £502. After this it is certainly some what inconsistent to talk about heavy rates, and is is high time that some inquiry was made into the matter with a view to restoring a juster proportion of things. Mr. HENNESSY contrasted tLese returns with those of the Union at Holyhead, selecting that part of England as being nearest Ireland. In Holyhead the poor rates amounted to £lO,OOO, of which £9,300 was expanded on the poor, £415 only being charged for official expenses. The heavy expenses, he contended, were mostly due to the indoor relief system, for the proportion of outdoor relief given in Ireland is only one-thirtieth against one-sixth in England. The rule is more oppressive applied to a poor county like Ireland, where the means of the labouring population are at beat scantier than it would be in our own land, and the benefit of giving a little temporary relief to out• door labourers when deprived of work by frost or other causes is very great to the ratepayers as well as to the recipients. In Ireland the families of such men are driven into the workhouse, and become too often pauperised, whereas by a more liberal and enlightened system the barrier between the children and pauperism need not be broken down. It is no light thing to familiarise our working men's families with the inside of a Union, and it is cer• tainly not the way to lighten the burdens of the ratepayers. We hear a great deal abo u t no t in &basing the temptations to live on the public bounty, but gentlemen who argue exclusively on this side of the question will do well to consider whether in their anxiety to diminish the attractions of the Union to the worn and tempted pauper they are not at the sam e ti me heightening the attraction of the gaol. The subject of " Park-lane Improvement" haf of late engrossed much attention, and those who take an interest in the matter, or are desirous o acquainting themselves with its details, ca nnot dt better than peruse the letter of Mr. NELSON to for limes of yesterday. Tnis gentl e m an i s F . v e r s et, the suggestion recently made of opening Hamilton. place as a means of obviating the mess of traffio:; and in lieu theceof, he considers that the crianee bhould be made before and not after Park-lane. There are no lees than seven streets opening north wards between Park-lane and Berkeley-street, at both which points the rush of traffic is truly " in. cessant." Mr. NELSON propnses that soma of these streets which are either cuts de sac, or ending in inconvenient routes, should be opened. This pro. pcsai appears to ba a reasonable one, and the eaplanatiocs given on the subject seem to be satis. factory. There is no doubt that for some time past there has been great negligence displayed in per. milting Piccadilly to remain in such a blocked up state. What is everybody's business is nobody's has been proved by the discomfort and danger that have attended the traffic constantly taking place in this favourite street of the metropolis. It is proposed , then, to continue Clarges-street northwards to come out opposite to Charles-street, Grosvenor.square, and this could be dose in an economical manner. The other suggestion is to make South Audley•street go on to Piccadilly. By this means there would be a direct thoroughfare between Oxford-street and Piccadilly, and also another thorough fare from Piccadilly to Park-lane. Mr. NELSON deserves credit for his ingenious sug. gestions, and it certainly appears that they contain more to recommend them than is often found in the proposals of a similar nature which continually abound. It is truly slated in this letter that these proposals will prove cheaper in the end than the plan of opening Hamilton-place, for the houses there are so much more valuable than in the other twu localities, that large compensation will be obliged to be given to the owners. It must seem, besides, on consideration, that the change in Hamilton-place will not effect the benefit, nor secure ail the advan tages that, at first sight, it appeared to promise. It will be but a temporary alteration, and not be in the right place for removing the traffic so as to en able those who suffer so much inconvenience there from to enjoy the requisite relief. It is to be wished that the Metropolitan Board displayed more ability and judgment in the consideration of these mat• ters. They seem to exhibit neither discernment to recognise evils nor wit to remove them when others have found them out. The task of improving the streets and accommodating the thoroughfares of a great metropolis ought not, however, to be so lightly spoken of, as is too often the case. It was the boast of an Emperor in past days that he found Rome brick and left it marb,e, and this was not an unreasonable theme for self congratulation, but the spirit which prompted Oe men of old times to improve their capitals has never rightly been comprehended or sufficiently partici pated in by those who regulate the streets of London. We have all heard of the princess and the crumpled rose leaf, and, absurd as it may seem to some in theory, there are many now-s-days whc carry it out in practice. Perhaps one of the most absurd forms in which this ultraartfiaement and excessive particularity has of late shown itself has been the crusade that has been made against street music. The humorous remarks that were made during the discussion that took place the other evening showed how utterly unfounded were the complaints made. It ir, however, to be observed that in some respects the provisions of this bill are most unfair they con• tain hard and harsh measures against the itinerant musicians, and are quite at variance with the general principles of English law. It is a pity that people become so infatuated about a subject that really is of so little importance. In the first place, many of those who complained so bitterly of the nuisance inflicted upon them by the " organ grin ders" are absent frone . town during a great part of the year, and it is most unreasonable to interfere with others in their mode of gaining an honest liveli hood. Sir J. TRELAWNY spoke out plainly and to the point when he said that the " bill was a piece of peddling legislation," and truly declared that the rolling of carriages at night was a great annoy ance to some people. It is idle to say that this bill only sends the musicians from one part of the town to another, because in any neighbourhood there may be persons who are possessed of this horror against street music, and hence the measure must be regarded as a tyrannical provision which sacrifices the interests of a humble class, and the pleasure of many poor persons to the infatuated prejudices of a few privileged individuals. It is impassible to procure quiet in its reality in London, and those who require, or fancy that they require, absolute calm for the prosecution of their studies, should betake themselves elsewhere, for es fast as they have put down one nuisance another will start up, and their energies will be consumed in the struggle for rest, while they will be as far off their object as ever. The promoters of this bill have succeeded in passing a clause which the Attorney General has called " totally unprecedented," and it is greatly to be regretted that their zeal, which is indeed worthy of a better cause, did not show more moderation in its demands, and exhibit more reti cence in its judgment. Considerate persons will not pursue their avocations the more peacefully be cause the stringent regulations of the law have driven the poor musician from street to street, till in despair he ventures to defy its mandates, and finds himself in a prison. When released from thence, who shall say what his future course may be ? It is always an unwise act on the part of legislators to strain a point, so that a conviction is almost sure to take place, and these social innova tors seem resolved that, come what may, the organ grinder must be guilty, and that the sooner he be brought to condign punishment the better. The Bishop of London has appointed July ith for the annual distribution, at the Society of Arts, of the prizes and certificates in religious knowledge gained by the members of literary and mechanics' institutions, young men's societies, working men's clubs, and evening classes, in unicn with the Metropolitan Adult Education Association." PROSPECTS OF A GENERAL ELECTION.—The Parliament House— the chief seat of the Whigs in this city—is in motion. For ,he past three or four days every horse-hair in it has been on end. There has been a running to and fro such as has not been observed since the last general election, and and anxiety which indicates a feeling the very opposite of comfortable. Out of doors, too, certain supposed leaders or authorities among the Whigs are be coming quite bland and courteous, if not positively obse quious, to those that at any other time they would not care to recognise or remember. The Tories leek jubilant, and rumours are current that in the event of a dissolution they mean to contest this city against its present misrepresenta tives, or whoever else may appear in the field.—Caledonian Illercury, A POLICEMAN SHOT BY A BURGLAR. —On Tuesday night two county constables, names] Hotton and Waldron, were on duty in Hale-road, Hate-head, when they Met a man of suspicious appearance. In order to have a better view of tho man Waldron struck a match, and then the officers saw that ha fully answered the description of a man who was wanted for a burglary. Waldron seized him by the back of the neck, when the prisoner drew a pistol and fired. The shot, however, missed ; and he almost immediately fired another pistol, this time with more suc cess, the ball striking the officer in the right side. A des perate struggle then took place bei ween the prisoner and the tvvo officers, Hotton,though wounded, still assisting his brother officer. While he was doing so, the prisoner stabbed him several times with a chisel. After consider able difficulty the prisoner was handcuffed. The constable ;ies in a dangerous state.

Chapman and Hall. Chapter Nine of Book One, page 84 of Number Three, has at length brought the hypercritics the explanation of Mr. Dickens's title—the title flouted by those same hypercritics as not only enigmatical, but ungrammatical. The elucidation of the little mystery is complete and triumphant. And, remem ber, it is one not interpolated by an after-thought for the purpose of explaining away a difficulty but—as the very fact of the phrase being the title of the book plainly enough indicates on the surface of it— appearing quite as a matter of course in the pre arranged flow of the narrative. " Oar Mutual Friend," then, is the phrase by which Mr. Beffin—(a strictly ungrammatical personage as all the world knows by this time)—the phrase by which Noddy Boffin of the Bower, and the dust binns, and the ash mountains at Harmony Jail, designates (while addressing Mrs. Wilfer) that mysterious occupant of the first floor at Wilfer's, Mr. John Rokesmith to wit! " I may call him Oar Mutual Friend," said Mr. Buffin. " What sort of fellow is Oar Mutual Friend, now ? Do you like him ?" And so forth. What sort of fellow we take him to be, we have already, now a couple of months ego, when noticing the first number, petty plainly indicated. But of that—not a syllable more shall we write henceforth until our author makes, at his own good time and pleasure, his own revelation. To say that the number before us—No. 3, just issued with the July magazines—is crammed full of good things, of intensely humorous whims and oddities, is, as usual, with any instalment of a aerial tale from the same Master Hand, to give ex pression to a mere matter of fact. Specimens of some few among the good things, however, we take it,witl be infinitely preferable, given one by one, th,n any simple statement as to the fact of their being here in the lump. Young B:'ght,the dismal bay who is in his small person the " managing cte.rk, junior clerk, common law clerk, ceeveyancieg chancery clerk, every refinement and department clef k," in Mr. Mortimer Ligte.wood's (the soli • ci or's)chambers in the Temple is the first good thing we come to in this number—and he for that matter is thorougniy good troen beginning to end. Y. uog Blight's interview with Old Boa, must be turned to and read ws a whole, in its entirety. Ditto the interview that afterwards takes place between Noddy Boffin and Monimer Lightwood. As the former is leaving the latter's chambers at the end of it, enter the young blasf" barris - er, Euge'ne IWrayburn ! Who—on being told by Beffia "Nothing like work. Look at the Bees !"—pro tests (as a biped) against being referred to the bees, to the dogs, the spiders, or the camels I. "I freely admit," he says, " that tee camel, for instance, is an excessively temperate person. But he has several alomacs to entertain himself with, and I have only one." As to the bees, however, he maintains that he whole case is assumed. " rney work—ye-es ! " but asks Eugene, "don't you think they rather over. do it ? They work so much more than they need—they make so much more than they can eat—they are so incessantly boring and buzzing at their one idea till Death comes upon them—that, I don't you think they overdo it ?" Noddy Boffin's street-talk with Mr. Rokesmith (who off-Jrs himself I as his Secretary) is capital—particularly where at the outset Mr. Boffin is divided in his doubts as to whether the stranger will propose a game of skittles, or meet a country gentleman, or produce an article of jewellry—Noddy, at the mere conjecture of such possibilities, carrying his Familiar Spirit, the Big Stick, in his arms, as Punch carries his, ready for any en.sirgency. Yet more droll, however, is the descriptionf in the next chapter, of the Boffios' turn out in a four wheel chaise—liable to hiccup itself apart at the crossings—drawn by a hammer headed old horse and driven by a hammer headed young man —the latter "entombed by a jobbing tailor of the district in a perfect Squlchre of coat and gaiters, sealed with ponderous buttons." The juvenile ctatf of the neighbourhood, as this imposing turn-out rolls into the street—such as "Down with the dust, Bof fin !" and the like—prepares us, as by an appro priate flourish of trumpets, for the morning edits made by those wonderful newly-installed carriage folk. CaLs---first upon the Milveys—afterwards upon the Wilf,rs. The poor curate's family of the Milveys of '`a quite young man, expens sivcly educated and wretcoedly pain, with a quite young wife (charming y emphatic in her conversa tion), and half-a-dozen quite young cltildren." Wonderful tun—On the Buffos' getting (atter ;rest perseverauce on the part of the i-miner. headed young man entombed in the S-puctire) into the Wilfer's tittle hall—ines pressibly ridiculous fun, is made of the three pairs of listening legs upon the stairs above—Mrs. Wilfer's legs, Miss B,lla's legs, Mr. George Samp son's legs—of the strained attention on the part of those same three pair of legs—and, in the end, of their excited fight. Tne meaning of the two visits, here to the Milveys, there to the Wilfers, being simply this, that at the curate's the Buffias ire in search of an orphan (to adept and re name as John Harmon), while at the clerk's they are bent upon hospitably inviting to their habitat Miss Bella, the dissappointed wife, set apart by Ad Harmon for—the supposed dece4sed. The tenth chapter of Book 1., closing this third number of " Our Mutual Friend," makes us disagreeably acquainted with an odious couple, to wit, the mature young gentleman and the mature young lady, previously met at the Veneer ing's, and now married I Alfred Lammle, with the gingery whiskers, and Sophronia, nee Akershem, powder and all ! A horrid pair—only tolerable in deed as we track them along the sands, during their honeymoon, on the( coast of the Isle of Wight, only barely tolerable as we track them there, and thus tolerable simply for the casual Mention of Mr. Lammle (previously spoken of es being "rather like a spurious Mephistopheles, and an unacknowledged member of that gentleman's family") the casual mention of him here as he trails his stick after him along the wat sand, "as if he were of the Mephistopheles family indeed, and walked with a drooping tail !" Numberless admirably clever touches, bring out vividly to view the incidents and the people at the wedding of this wretched twain at the Veneerings. Twemlow's increasing bewilderment as to the Veneering's in :imacies—the panegyric upon Shares as the Be All and End All of City Lite—(" 'Where does be come from P Shares. Where is he going to P Shares. What are his tastes ? Shares. Has he any principles? Shares.")—horrible old Lady T►p pins's checking off the bridal array and its para.. phanalia—thet delicious record in one of Dickees'a marvellous parentheses of that same old Lady Tippins's dead husband's having been (" knighted in mistake for somebody else by his M jests King George the Third, who, while per forming the cer( tawny, W4S graciously pleased to observe ' What, what, what ? Who, who, who ? Why, why, why ?'")--the wedding breakfast at he Veneerings with the Buffers whispering C:;ir•ty Tneu-s , And Pou-nd' ! " with a smack and relish suggestive of the very fiNest oysters"—the Pokey Unknown, amzed to find how intimately They know the Veneerings, poicking up their spirits, olding their arms, and beginning to contradict him tefore breakfast—the said combined unknown, fter the bridal pair have gone, returning to the gorgeous drawing-rooms, and there doing " malig nant things with their legs to ottomans, and taking is much as possible out of the splendid furniture" — dl these and how m'-ch more in the way , of oimitable touches of the richest. rßciest humour ill continue to render the pages of " Oar Mutual Friend" not unworthy additions to that beloved shelf in the National book-room, on which stand rang in radiant array the well-thumbed volumes I 4IIP, 13-7, library. Can ycz; Forf,%*re 'kr? Trollop:. No. VII. en,pmao bud Had, From the beginning to the end of the number we are with Alice V.vasour at M.-itching Priory. About the only incident in the whole instalment is That of the moonlit talk between Alice and the Lady Glencora in the Priory ruit s—to the exceed ing vexation of Mr. Plantagenet P,liiser. Lady Glencora is seemingly upon the very brink of a fathomless pool of trouble, in which she appears to meditate precipitating herself suicidally. Mr. Bott, the red whiskered giant of an M.P., renders himself more odious than ever. So also does old Lady Midlothian, who makes her ap pearance for a brief interval at Matching Priory, with the intention of rating Alice, there, however, getting rated herself by Alice instead. Most of the characters in the story ate very odious, and the situations, into which these are thrown, often intolerable, almost sometimes to the extent of being disgusting. Instance—Alice's can224;:ss jilting of the man she loves, and to whom, as such, she was, reasonably enough, engaged to bo married. In stance—still more flagrantly—the unlawful love yet cherished by the Lady Giencora for her former suitor Burgo—even though she, Lady Glencora, is by this time the wife of Mr. Palliser. The French Press on the Conference, The Ministerial statements in Parliament have not given rise to any difference of opinion in Paris. All agree in pronouncing them the most hutriiiat ing confession of impotence that could be expected, even on the part of a Ministry whose object pusil lanimity had already reduced the prestige of Eng land to zero. The Constatttionnel ties a very able letter from M. Parnin Limayrac, in which the writer points out with unanswerable logic that tin- Government knew perfectly well when the. Conference met that France would not go to war, and therefore that it is but a poor-spirited, meat). and sneaking excuseto allege the mean- ion of F atqc, as an excuse for their own. The Constitutionnel says :—" Tne British Cabinet pronounces tun qui vocally in favour of peace. It thee not intend to go to war to protect the conlinental posse-sions of D. nmark, and thus leaves the German Powers to act within those limits. It is only in the event ot war being transferred to the D4nish Islands, ot Copenhagen being attacked, or King Christian being made pr.soner, that E , ,gland would depart from her reserve, and reconsider the matter. Tate-se dtclarations m:. de are precise-, but are they prudent also? Do they not give too wide a field to one ot the two bel ligerent parties, which now knows how far it can go without provoking the intervention of Eng land, and is it not even told in positive terms tha , it may not ga f Arthet ? Moreover, are these d-cla rations in accord with those previously made ? ano does not the motive for this new attitude, as ex plained by Lord Palmerston, when he said that ' England was not diTased to bear the whole bur den of the enterprise unaided,' appear more like a pretext than a reason ? Has not the Cabinet of St. James's long known the feeling of the French Government, always sympathising with the weak, but recognising the legitimacy of national aspira tions, and having no interest of honour or any of those material interests which connect England with the Dano-German conflict ? The attitude and language of France have been such from the very origin of the conflict that no mistake on the sub ject has ever been possible. All Europe admits this, and the English Ministers candidly ecknowledged the fact when, in suggesting arbitration as a means of ending the dispute, they proposed tlie Emperor Napoleon as arbitrator. Every one knows that we have rendered full justice to the last efforts of Earl Russell and Lord Palmerston, but it is impossible for us not to remark the distance existing between the resolutions which those statesmen have just taken, and the policy which, by the press, by public speeches, and by despatches, excited passions which it was not to satisfy and indulged in menaces which were to remain without effect." The Pays is instructed to hold forth in the same sense, and, in addition, points out that England, or rather the English Government, has taken up a most peculiar position, aggressive towards both bellige rents, scolding and threatening both by turns, trying to protect Denmark by bullying Germany, and endeavouring to restrain Germany by bullying Denmark. The Pays also points ,iut (not wit hotr some satisfaction) that England "appears to have laboured to unite passions, or smother resentment, and to strengthen cot ling pretensions. She is 'eaping what she bras sown. At Copenhagen spite and distrust. At Berlin and V.enna haired and lontempt. It is now her shame to see that her promises henceforth will not be rega►ded morn seriously than her threats." At Paris, the Pays might have added, the feeling is contempt, largely /Gingled with exultation at the hutuidation of a ivai. The Opinion Nationale is more vigorous and earnest :—'• It the nuintliation of Eigiund were cslculattd to cause us joy We eheuid h .ve but lithe 'o desire. It now stands recorded that the protec ion of England means nothing—that her alliamte is powerless—that her name t the foot of a treaty le no guarantee—and that the map of Europe may be constructed without consultiog her views any more then those of the ducny of Baden ce! the kingdom of Wurtemberg. Those who have SO long been wearied with the interminable enumera ration of the merits and superiority of England could easily turn the tables now, and point out the sad spectacle of that decline—the destinies of Eng land left to the decision of the wits, an aristocracy ' 1 in its dotage, an unwieldy middle class bursting with fat and egotism (this is text ual—e. g , crevant de graisse de richesse, etd egoisrne); a people so absorbed by money-making as not to have time to see that England is struck from the roll of the great powers—all this might afford ample scope to the jealous malignity of the rivals of England. But, unfortunately, we remember that the humi liation now endured by England, we suffered ourselves last year. What is now taking place is but tit for tat. Last year, by refusing her co-operation, England forced us to inac tion ; now, France by absttlining condemns England to deep degradation. Last year we were conipelled to undergo the polished impertinence of Prince Gortschakoff ; we now oblige her to bow , beneath the coarse insolence of Count Bismark. Is not this a policy worthy of two great countries ? Does it not give them claims to the gratitude of ' humanity and civilization ?" The Patric is still more bitter. In an article headed, " Sauvons la caisse ! " i.e.," Save the cash ' box," it charges England with being actuated by purely sordid motives, and predicts for her the fate of Venice and Holland, and also other countries which place their material welfare far above con stderations dictated by honour and duty. The Debuts expresses itself in these terms The weoie meaning and bearing of the reserv, made by England amounts to this—For th , Cabinet to believe the moment come not to inter vene in favour of Denmark, but to deliberate on tb question as to whether it shall du un or not, Danmark must be attacked either in her isittntl,, in the heart 01 her StAes, in her capital, f.q. Log Ctiristial must be a prisoner ip the hands of the Germans! That is the final decision—the great stc,•,r, th. manifesto of Lord Peirce:sloe ! The Daily _News appears not less edified ; alone the Post and the Herald utter an indignant protest." It is remirke t that the second series of gars invited to Fontainaleau contains not an single Engin,: mune. " TIMES" AND THE VOTE t F CENSURE. — A critic ought to have a long memory. The Times ye,. rerday was very sarcastic upon the terms of Mr Disraeli' motion, and falls especially foul of the expression thn " the just influence of England has been lowered." 'll, nines asserts that there is no such thing as lowering Ol lessening a " just influence," since if not exerted it ceasee to exist. Mr Disraeli has doubtless laughed to hinasei that the leading journal can extract nothing worse out 0 his motion than a bit of verbal refining.

VITITRY. Shipping Disasters at Liverpool. Yesterday morning a smart gale blew over Liverpool from the north-west, and was unfortunately attended with serious accidents. The storm was particularly severe at the mouth o& the river, and in the channels approaching thereto. A schooner named the Happy Return, from Dublin to Liver poo:, in endeavouring to enter the river was driven into the north-east end of the r 'at bo bank about 4 ..'clocx in 'he morning. The captain's wile, and three of the crew were washed overboard by the heavy seas that broke over her. The Cunard steamer British Queen, Captain Kelly, from Havre to Liverpool, was passing at the time, and the cap tain, observing the distress of the schooner, ordered a boat to put out to her. A boat, stated to be a lifeboat, was lowered, and manned by six men, under the command of Mr George Morrison, the second rffieer. In endeavouring to approach the vessel the boat was struck by a heavy sea, capsized, and five of her crew drowned. Mr Morrison and the other seaman were saved by another boat from the Bri tish Queen. In the meantime information was received at one of the Liverpool lifeboat stations, and a boat imme diately put out and succeeded in reaching the wreck, and rescuing the captain and one seaman still remaining on board. Many other vessels have sustained injuries to hull and rigging, but no further fatal casualties were reported. The wind continued very rough until about noon, when it began to moderate. The following report of the occurrence was posted in the Underwriters' room during the day : " The British Queen, screw steamer, Kelly, from Havre, when coming in this morning, saw the schooner Happy Return run on the north-east side of the Burbo. The steamer stopped by her and lowered a boat to save the crew, but it did riot succeed in getting to the wreck. They then lowered a second and larger boat, which got to the Happy Return, after great risk, and while taking the crew from her, as they jumped from the wreck into the water, tha rope attached to part of the wreck broke, and in veering the boat round towards the steamer she was struck by a heavy sea, which filled and capsized her, drowning five of the seven men tram the steimer, who manned bar, and two of the Happy Return's crew."
